I think the seats should face back AND all planes should have open cargo doors at the back of the plane during takeoff so all non properly stowed electronics will exit the plane. And it'd be biatchin to watch the ground drop away. And who the hell would argue with flight attendants about putting on their seatbelt and sitting down when they are busy fearing for their life?

considering the tail of the plane hit first and broke off then the nose and body slammed the ground from like a 30 degree angle, then the plane did a 360, Im not surprised at all the lower spine injuries. The lap belts kept the lower half of the body pretty stable while the upper part was swinging every which way. The drop seat on the front bulkhead has shoulder harnesses. If they have one in the 777 then that persons neck would have been farked.

Im not a chiropractor but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

I'd like to know how many eye, face and forehead injuries from the farking marketing credit card scam machines they have in the farking head rests right at eye level. basically a ready to go shrapnel kit right in your face, just to get a few more bucks out of you. fark those are the worst invention ever. read a paperback fer gods sake

Manley said even among those who suffered mild spine trauma, he is struck by a pattern that shows how their upper bodies were flung forward and then backward over the lap belts that kept them in their seats and undoubtedly saved their lives.
